Deepening CCDC Engagements on Policy Development and Review

Recognizing the significant role of research in policy development and review, government agencies including local government units and the private sector have strengthened collaborations with higher education institutions like CCDC, to engage them in various research and community-based activities that would help frame relevant policies and provide feedback and evaluation on existing policies and its implementation.

In the same way, the CCDC student research agenda has also been crafted in harmony with the needs of the community, of partner-agencies to ensure research utilization in the fields of social welfare, disaster risk reduction, health care programs, peace and order and education.

As an academic institution, CCDC is also involved in Local Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Committees, Barangay Drug Abuse Council, Tobacco Control Regulatory Committee, Tourism Council, Provincial Health Committee, Legislative Awareness Council, to name a few.

In July 2023, the CCDC College of Law and the Philippine Earth Justice Center has formalized its partnership to ensure strengthened delivery of legal assistance aligned to protection and enforcement of environmental laws and addressing environmental justice issues in the local communities.
